[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5595314, member: 19675"] Allowing something like this is probably not going to break the game because it's unlikely they'll be able to ask for this over and over again. This scrying is a one-time thing, for the express purpose of retrieving someone the NPCs who hired they [I]very much[/I] want retrieved. If I were running a modern campaign in which the PCs had to rescue the kidnapped daughter of a black market arms dealer, I'd expect the players to ask for munitions...and not giving them SOMETHING would be bad GMing On my part since it would beg so many questions that it could break the players investment in the campaign. So let them get whatever assistance from the NPCs that makes sense. They STILL have to complete the mission, and scrying doesn't tell you what is happening after the spell is over. Perhaps the researcher gets moved to another place between the scrying and the PCs' arrival. Or reinforcements arrived. [/QUOTE]
